Songs I never get tired of

I was having a conversation with my buddy about music and we got to talking about those songs. You know the type, a song that came into your life at the perfect moment and got perfectly cemented into your psyche. The types of songs you have been listening to for years and will continue to come back to time and time again. I have too many of these to list them all but here are the first three that come to mind.

1. Faust - "Jennifer"

I found this song in high school when I first started smoking, it was playing in the background of a documentary on opium use and I loved it so much I had to dig through the comments on youtube to find the song name. I downloaded the album this song is on and honestly it sucks but for whatever reason they made a solid gold track here that is perfect for relaxing me after a long day.

After seeing them on the Dave Chappelle and remembering having played the video game they released as a kid I was intrigued enough to buy their greatest hits album from Target. What happened that day was the start of the rest of the life. I was the biggest Wu-Tang fan this side of the Mississippi. In my honest opinion this song is perfect, it almost hurts listening to it because I know I will never hear a rap to top this one. Every member of the Wu came out and represented their personas perfectly. If you've been meaning to give them a try definitely listen to this song first.

The second biggest obsession I ever had with an album was Toxicity by these guys. I am not a big fan of metal and it hardly does this band justice to call them metal. If this was a list of albums I would put the whole album I pick this song because it was the first song I heard before I bought the album so it sticks out to me the most. But srsly, I'm sure you've listened to these guys and if you haven't I have no idea what you're doing with your life.
